T-Works have released a full line of option parts for Team Associated’s B64 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy. First up is a carbon fibre battery strap. Machined from high-quality graphite material the part is of an adjustable design that allows to shift the shorty battery pack forth and back in order to fine-tune the buggy’s weight bias. Included with the strap comes suitable hardware.
Coming from Fenix as part of their new Slim Series chassis range are carbon fibre chassis for a range of formula pan cars. Designed to reduce chassis scrub during hard cornering the chassis will allow for a softer suspension setup due to greater ground clearance. Available from September are sets for the Xray X1’17/16/15, Yokomo YR10F, Team Associated F6 and Fenix Mistral.
JConcepts have introduced their new 2-piece front camber link mount bulkhead for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies. The 2-piece design incorporates durable material, looks and tuning into a single package. The front camber link mount sports all three popular mounting locations and features a blended design which connects to the front bulkhead forming a unique, stout package. The bulkhead itself has all the tricks. Starting from a small square of a aluminium, the part has been mastered into a pocketed, threaded and high-performance unit complete with 3mm threaded holes, anodising and laser etching. Joining the two pieces together blends the parts and creates the valley for the sway-bar location. The sway-bar area is compatible with standard AE hardware and optional sway bar kit. The aluminium camber link mount and bulkhead combined with the plastic AE suspension mount weigh in at about 28.5g without hardware making it a tuning adjustment and it can be mixed and matched with AE and JC parts to create a load of different weight bias settings.
Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced an aluminium steering rack for the Team Assocoated B64 line of buggies. Designed to replace the standard composite part, the alloy rack is made of high-quality aluminium and it comes with machined edge details for improved looks. Due to the sturdy construction the steering feel and durability are much improved for greater confidence when the going gets tough. Included with the rack, that fits both the B64 and B64D, come two bearing crush tubes.

Team Associated have introduced a range of new Factory Team option parts for the B64 range of 1/10th 4WD buggies. First up are aluminium rear hubs in blue or black colour. The uprights are of a symmetrical design, they allow for axle height adjustment and the vertical camber link ball stud mounting helps to achieve finer roller centre adjustments. Also new are +2 FT steering arm blocks. Laser-etched for easy identification, the parts add more Ackermann than the stock plates which results in smoother steering response. Last but not least comes the FT LRC arm mount B made of heavy brass material. A direct fit for the standard LRC arm mount B, the part adds weight to the front of the buggy, it lowers the centre of gravity and improves front end consistence through high speed corners.
Reflex Racing’s recently introduced PCS system for the Team Associated TC7.1 is now also available as a combo kit including a suitable carbon fibre chassis. Included, besides the Pitch Control System, is a 2.1mm quasi isotropic carbon fibre chassis that was designed to work with the RSD Pitch Control System. It includes two additional motor mount holes to secure the motor mount in different ways and adjust the flex characteristic of the car in the rear end. It also utilises two countersink holes in order to mount the Yokomo BD8 active rear steering rods to the chassis which is a popular modification by TC7.1 drivers these days. Included in the kit are the chassis, alloy motor and servo mount, carbon fibre servo mounting plate, RSD 2.0mm or 1.5mm top deck, battery stock screws and mounting hardware. Besides the full kit the chassis is also available separately.
Exotek have introduced a 1-piece aluminium wing mount for the Team Associated B64 4WD buggy. The heavy duty wing stay is machined from 7075 aluminium and it comes blue anodised and laser-engraved for wear and looks. The sturdy design keeps the wing angle true for correct aero even in tough racing conditions and the mount works with the stock wing spacer and hardware.
